The girl cell is compassion, openness, love, kindness and empathy? LOL, most feminists are idiots and so is this one. I know many with those attributes than I know women.
Are we at the crossroads of humanity? Are we becoming a "chimp" class and a "bonobo" class? I see sociopaths, angry assholes, everywhere in every city in the US. There is less desperation, but no less hate, in the rural areas. I just don't think we can continue like this without killing each other.
Ugh, this is so pathetic. Eve Ensler was (allegedly) raped by her father, so all this "women's rights" bullshit is nothing more than a pathetic vendetta against all men. People really need to wake up and smell the roses. Ensler, in the long run, doesn't give a shit about other women, she just wants to destroy all men, who in her sick mind are all perceived as violent rapists.
@emlodik what evidence do you see that makes you think she wants to "destroy all men"? what makes you think she perceives all men as violent rapists? it seems to me that she is trying to help both men and women, encouraging them to embrace feeling/emotion, what she calls the "girl cell" that resides in all of us. Our society discourages this "girl cell" and she says men are even more victimized and suppressed by society. Seems to me like you're afraid.
She's a playwright. The girl cell is metaphor for what you call empathy and applies to both and women as she stated clearly in the beginning of her talk. To those of you who got defensive and called her a nut, I ask that you watch her other talk on security. Looney or not, she is championing a good cause
How wonderful, I have always thought it unfair that men were not supposed to cry. Men commit suicide at far higher rates than women, because they feel they are being 'weak' if they cry!!! Men have feeling the same as a woman, they suffer more because they feel as if they cannot talk frankly, they commit suicide rather than discuss their real worries and fears, leaving their family devastated and heartbroken that they were not 'mind readers' and did not help their partner. Guilt ridden forever.
She's dead right on the heavy training young boys get, to brutalize them into being brutal. Even in the literate internet world 325 boys are scared of the idea they might have what has here to for been described as feminine virtues, virtues they are encouraged to reject as "womanish."
@jpl10380 It's not the virtues, which truly are virtues, that are being rejected with the dislikes you moron. It's her insinuation that they are present in the 'girl' cell.
@crudhousefull I have no idea what you are talking about. The argument she made was that these are no exclusively male virtues. She saying they are culturally defined as female and looked down on for that reason. Boys exhibiting behavior deemed girly are often subject to that specific ridicule.
@jpl10380 Uh huh, was waiting for one of you idiots to say that. Manipulation, vanity, shallowness, inability to comprehend things that are too complicated and being stupid are also culturally defined as being female. Weird how the 'female cell' mysteriously doesn't include all of those attribute.
I simply do not understand how one can watch this and not feel it all. It's such a contradictory, such a revolutionary idea, and yet one so simple: allow humans to feel. We must allow ourselves to love--love each other, love ourselves.
You ass. I also know all those things. And I am no girl. The biggest difference between me and your "girl", is that I don't think that I am special.
Actually, if you can't feel the feelings inside another person, you are handicapped. The trait is called empathy, and we all have it to some degree. Trying to claim it for girls, as if you can't have it without being one, at least metaphorically, is pure politics.
She makes this Masai girl's father sound like some kind of monster. But what was he doing? Simply following the tenets of his culture. And she makes the girl out to be a saint, for forgiving him, but how could she fail to forgive him? He was no more educated than she was, to begin with.
Not that I agree with his culture, but you must realize that he would have seen this as no different than we see prom..... He was no monster, just a victim of a barbaric culture. It's good that he learned.
Sorry, what!!!!!!!!!!!! Being a boy is essentially not being a girl?
So masculinity is defined as a lack of qualities, rather than a set of qualities, both good and bad. And femininity is defined as what? Compassion? Empathy?
Fuck you Eve. The qualities you define as male exist in you deeper than you know.
And triple fuck you for pretending that I cannot care about others without being "girlish"
And fuck you for making a video that the world will watch on their iPads.
without it's complementary opposite, the vagina (and all the implications that come with that) is unhealthy. it would be the same if the feminine didn't have a masculine counterpoint. we need both, but right now we need the feminine more.
it's simply pro feminine. Supporting this is equally as liberating for men as it is for women. Unleashing the feminine qualities for men is huge, because men have been taught for so long not to embody these "weak" qualities. We focus on the feminine and it's win win for both men and women. I feel that you're projecting your own anger onto feminists, Eve Ensler is a very balanced woman who certainly believes men and women are equal. No one is calling the penis foolish, they're saying the penis
The problem with feminists is their own sexist ideologies. Does she really believe compassion is a uniquely feminine trait? Why focus on violence against women specifically? What about men and children? Is violence against them not as important? Why don't we just try to campaign against all violence?
So far the only feminist I've liked is Naomi Woolf, who's really civil rights activist, since she's fair and is concerned for everyone and not just women.
@mrbenderson005 Working to end violence against girls and women isn't sexist. More girls and women have been killed for being girls and women in the last fifty years then the total death toll of all men who died in battle during the twentieth century. Feminists don't support violence towards men, they simply focus their energy and attention on the group who is most frequently abused, raped, and killed due to their sex. This is all factual. I hope you reflect on the immaturity of your statement.
@divinefemme I'm sorry you don't agree, but that doesn't make my statement immature. I would like to see your source that provides the statistics showing more women are dying because they are women (I am assuming you're not counting the women who're killed as a casualty of war in the same way all civilians are). I'm not saying the number isn't large, but it's a big statement to make. Even so, I didn't insinuate women support violence against men, more like they don't actively care. (cont...)
@divinefemme ...consider if men had organized a "masculinist" movement towards promoting manhood, which consisted of all 'macho' traits you oppose so much and none of the 'girl cell' qualities that according to this women are primarily female qualities. It would feel invasive to you, they'd be called misogynists a hundred times over, and it'd be true. Singling out and actively supporting only women's rights (to me) is as sexist as it is racist to have a scholarships only for white people...
@divinefemme ...And you took my statement out of context, I did not at all say working to end violence against girls/women is sexist, I said her acquisitioning all these nice traits as 'girl cells' and demonizing what apparently are only male traits is making sexist statements, and biologically baseless considering, as she herself pointed out, men and women are taught much of how they behave respective to their gender roles...
@divinefemme ...Lastly, this is why I like Naomi Woolf, because she's supports and works in the interests of helping women around the world be treat *equally* (including the aforementioned violence), *and* supports everyone else's equality as well, which in my definition makes her a civil rights activist, since she doesn't have a demonized perception that men in generall are intellectually/emotionally stunted species that the great feminists must teach them the foolishness of having a penis.
@mrbenderson005 The "girl cell" is in men as as well as in women, as she clearly states in the beginning. To run with her style the "boy cell" qualities are equally healthy, great and necessary. The masculine is equally important, the problem is that it has become a distorted version of itself and we've overdosed on it because its been a patriarchy for hundreds if not thousands of years. This is why we focus on the feminine...it's the one that we need to emerge now. Likewise you can say weshould
@mrbenderson005 only support "equality" but that involves more focus on the feminine right now. When something has been oppressed or repressed it is below something else. The feminine has been below the masculine so we need to focus on it for it to rise. It's similar to how minority students can get into colleges easier usually then white students. It's not racist, it's necessary because they are at a cultural disadvantage. Focusing on women and the feminine is not anti men in the least
"More girls and women have been killed for being girls and women in the last fifty years then the total death toll of all men who died in battle during the twentieth century"
I don't know where you get this tripe, but the CDC would beg to differ;
cdc.gov/ncipc/pub-res/epi_of_violence
According to this report, men out-die women.
Granted, it's an old report, but you are still wrong.
I hope you reflect on the immaturity of your statements.
@mrbenderson005 I don't think that's what she meant. Yes, both girls and men are emotional. It's just that this is about female emotions. She wanted to write about female emotions. No one's dismissing the emotional self of the male.
When she describes her experience in the Congo, something shocked me. "So horrific and mind blowing and so on the other side of human existence.."
This gives me a sickening feeling. Is she a tourist of human suffering? How can she not know that this is the status quo of existence? We lucky few who live in the privileged upper class are not the essential examples of human existence. Those women in the Congo know better than most what it means to be human.
@Joesexy424 ....and that is why you'll never have a woman, and if you do she wouldn't let you talk like you have no mind. I'm pretty sure your mother would beat your ass if she heard that, btw. Perhaps you need to get an education, because these so called "hoes and tricks" and "bitches" are what GAVE YOU LIFE. you must be losing your ever loving mind, young man.
Ignoring the half-wit posting nonsensical historical inaccuracies here- I just want to say thank you to Eve Ensler, it's people like you who give us reason to continue this battle. o0POSH0o is a fine example of why we still need you here. So thank you <3
Yes, women get circumcised in certain parts of the world. Guess what? Here in America, baby boys get circumcised routinely, usually while their mother (a girl) watches on. Can someone explain the difference to me?
@astr323 Often in female circumcision they cut off the inner and outer labia as well as the clitoris. Sometimes they also sew the vagina closed and on the wedding night the male is either given an instrument to tear the vagina open again, or the groom is actually told to use his fist and punch hard to rip it open. These "procedures" are done without clean instruments or anesthetic when the women reach puberty while she is kicking and screaming.
@astr323 Yes, which is why they can still orgasm. And of course you could cut out the vagina, with the woman dying in the process. I can send you some images if you want.
@NudistInTheRye ...you just said they don't cut out the vagina. that they only cut out the clitoris. and that girls could still orgasm, even without a clitoris (which, fyi, most can't, just saying). now you're telling me that they cut out the vagina...and that the clitoris stays intact..and that women can still orgasm? you're a fucking moron. don't leave me another comment until you've got your story straight. and maybe not even then. you're kind of annoying.
@astr323 english is not my first language, so I think we got a verbal barrier here, or you are just putting words in my mouth, because that`s not at all what I said. I like the insults tough, really civil of you.
@astr323 All I said was that they don`t cut out the vagina, just the clit and the labia, and that doesn`t always happen. And I`m pretty sure that these women can still have vaginal orgasms. So why do keep insulting me? On your profile it says you`re 18.
@NudistInTheRye lol, you know, you sound pretty smart until you start spewing crap like clits being the spawn of Satan (or was that a joke? either way it was articulated poorly and absolutely NOT something you should EVER say EVER) and until you make massive generalizations about entire populations.
@astr323 As I always say, if you can take a dick, you can take a joke. I really didn`t want to troll you at first, but then there were these unprovoked insults and I kinda lost interest in debating you, if you can call it that.
@NudistInTheRye ..that doesn't even make any sense. and unprovoked? excuse me for not taking kindly to someone calling a part of my body the 'spawn of Satan.' does that mean you're religious, too? that'd explain things.
and lol. 'I really didn't want to troll you at first...except that's exactly what I did with my first comment.' you know you can stop responding to me any time you want, right? or are you going to continue making yourself look like a bigger and bigger prick until you 'win'?
@NudistInTheRye ...for real? replying proves nothing. trolls are easy to spot - what you did was not trolling. it was stupid as shit. if you'd trolled properly, I wouldn't have had anything to respond to. and successful trolling doesn't automatically guarantee several successive replies...geez you're stupid. you're just mad cause I see through you.
Men have many emotional and mental issues associated suppression of emotion. How can this woman stand up and talk about women and their plight? this is Nazi garbage.
@midgysamurai15 Anyone obsessed with a group with a view to marginalise another and spread hate is a NAZI. Feminists who obsess about women and marginalise men and glorify women and make men substandard is a NAZI.
Do you even know what NAZI stands for? You you even know of the history of nazism or fascism? Seriously, I pity you for not having the capacity to do your own research whilst relying on lazy commentary. You may play blind to the rampant and brutal misogyny in much of the developing world- but hey, that brutality is nothing like those horrid nazi feminists who make it easier for a single mother to get some financial support for a family.
@midgysamurai15 Nazi is an anacronym for "nationalist" "workers" "socialist" "Party" its political structure requires that people believing false history, false threats and a state religion, also they must belive they are superior and are gods over other races. Radical feminist require females to believe in a false history of oppression, they are required to believe in a false female religion "mother earth" "gaia" "wicca" etc etc, also they must believe they are gods and superior to men.
@o0POSH0o I like that in your pursuit to portray feminists as nazis you did actively ignore and dismiss the oppression and brutality people have faced merely on the basis of their genitals. This history is quite real, one that people like Eve Ensler tell to the world. As for Gaia, Mother Earth and Wicca? Wicca was brought by a man. Plenty of men actively worship women, vice versa, and even the tri-gendered. The fact that you require this ignorance to validate yourself is quite sad, go get help.
@midgysamurai15 Women were never oppressed exclusively. The world was very different 100 years ago or so. Firstly NONE had the right to vote, only rich land owners and aristocrats could vote. People fought for the right to vote. When voting was granted it was granted to the household. For a brief period the master of the household voted. The right to vote was then extended to women too. 100 years ago or so, hard labour was done by men, the world had none of the conveniences we have to day.
Actually this is where you are wrong. Men were, by default allowed to vote- in many countries the man's right to vote was never questioned regardless of economic background. It's funny how you pick your favourite piece of history with a lie- it must hurt your brain being in so much denial. Women had to fight for these things, for votes (1893) for monetary rights (an on going struggle) for health rights (also an ongoing fight) and so much more. The hard work of women has been ignored.
@midgysamurai15 It is the only history feminists refer to. feminists don't refer to chinese history, australian history, german history..... they spoke of English history, not one person had the right to vote and only if you owned land, voting was always linked to class..............not sex. feminists just distort history, like nazi's do
@o0POSH0o AAActually, the feminists do cover other histories- a lot more thoroughly than plenty of other historians at the time, and even now. Also fun fact, every dominant power out there has distorted history out there- dominant usually meaning on a patriarchal base. Funny that.
Funny how that even in an issue like class, women were still viewed inferior. You're only reinforcing this. Get help.
@midgysamurai15 There were many queens throughout history, they exercised great power. Society is energy driven, it looks for energy for its livelihood. I believe that the reason why society is patriarchal is because men have more drive and passion. Women would be seen as helpers.
When Machines and electricity came along, we can be more equal.... because technology allowed this. But there still fundamental differences between men and women. Today society is largely against men and fathers.
@o0POSH0o Again you are type casting your own gender. Lack of passion and drive? Have you ever raised a family single handedly? Also, said queens were few and even the amount of them who were able to wield some sort of power were killed off quickly or treated as mere puppetry due to there male counterparts. Again you would know this if you read the literature properly. Also, these so called fundamental differences were imposed by opressive powers, all of which were run by men/ abrahamic rule.
@midgysamurai15 quote me context..... we were talking about pre industrial society and the rise of machines. In the pre-industrial era we basically had rural farming communities under the ruler ship of a king or monarch and the aristocratic families. Men were always considered the bread winners because they went out and "brought home the bacon". It was a responsibility that the man had. Every women expected that a man would work and provide. This was necessary for a family. Feudal Society.
Respond to this video... (2) it was the shift from hard physical labour over to the factory that saw women in large numbers work in sweat shops..... alongside children. The rich capitalist merchants exploited women and children for profit. Hence the growth of the union movement. But men also were very heavily exploited. Feminists like only to focus on the plight of women and not put both genders in consideration. 800 women 4,000 workmen shoemaker's strike in Lynn, Massachusetts.
Respond to this video... I again refer to the axiom of energy and social change. The more access to energy and machinery and convenience, the more equal gender became. If you're in a rural setting, men dominated because of their physical capacity. In all society that are rural or semi rural, men have dominated due to their physical prowess and have had more drive and passion for their work. When technological change happened it seemed that there was more of a push toward equality.
Respond to this video... As the modern age advanced towards nuclear and oil power, the modern conveniences made the old rural days obsolete, more people lived in cities and very few people..herm herm(men) grow the food. (ahh politically correct gender neutral terms - radical left nonsense to hide truth).
Plus..... men vote for votes too, many many men could not vote..... because they did not own land. It was class related and not sex related. Feminists refer to English history.
As said before, feminists cover history that goes way beyond that of the British- it is not so healthy to be so nationalist there son. It was quite a Nazi like characteristic- then again I don't think you'd even know what the Nazis had done.
Again, even though there was division in class, men were still valued higher than women. And regardless of class, men could still vote.
@o0POSH0o Why is energy even coming into this? Dude, what the fuck are you smoking? There are plenty of reasons as to why men get paid more that women and that is due to the difference in BASE rate pay in so much of the world. Minimal of the nonsense you puked out is to do with working hours. And fyi- it has been statistically shown that women collectively work longer hours than men in the developed and developing world.
@midgysamurai15 ever since oil was exploited, population exploded.... more energy = more stuff
more stuff = more excitement for the future
more excitement for the future = more hanky panky
more hanky panky = people
more people = more money because they have more stuff that was made by all the energy contained in oil.
Lots of oil means hairy fairy radical leftist nonsense. oil running out means less stuff, less stuff means lees people + more hard (muscle--- men, farms) work.. to keep women happy.
@o0POSH0o Again, totally inaccurate. You are an absolute hopeless uneducated nonsensical moron. You very, very clearly haven't done any research or taken any classes or you wouldn't be spouting off such extreme, embarrassing nonsense. Don't ever breed. You should be ashamed of yourself.
Respond to this video... As for Pay, in the western world exclusively(not to spread out too far) there is no genuine case for discrimination, women get the same pay for the same work *hands down*..... if you want to talk about asia and the middle east.... then that is a different kettle of fish. As for women collectively working more than men? more radical leftist nonsense..... If you're talking about china, chinese value boys over girls for farm labour. They kill the girls off.
@o0POSH0o Everything you are saying is 100% inaccurate. Women still make 70 cents for every man's dollar in the workplace regardless of how equally qualified they are. Rates of domestic violence against women has been rising over recent years. Only 7% of rapists spend any time in prison, yet one in seven women will be sexually assaulted in their lifetimes. All women are oppressed. And in China, female babies are no longer forcefully aborted by the government. You are hopelessly clueless.
@magenta471 Everything you are saying is 100% robotic mantra..... like a video played over and over again for decades. Every politician comes out with what you are saying.
1. amount of money taken home does not equate to discrimination. It merrily states how long a person has worked and what skill set was employed. 2. All women who claim rape, may claim rape for many reasons. And they are not all valid reasons. Some are genuine, but some are based on attention seeking, false allegations, guilt.
@o0POSH0o It is people like you who are trying to change the "standard" for rape. MOST rape cases are RAPE. there is a VERY limited number who have not been raped. Also, honey- did you know on average men do get paid more- and it has NOTHING to do with skill or how long they have worked for a company, it's just cause they are men. don't try to say im wrong, im a sociology (and psychology) major. I have studied discrimination of every form and its not that hard for you to look up the facts.
@britt4192 Firstly all sex is a form of hyper-delusion, sex is the result of fantasies, expectations in another person. After sex can be a very lonely and dull experience, especially when the man has simply gratified himself and never made sex about the other person. SOME women can feel sick after sex and feel that the neurotic chemicals in their brain collapse into a cold steel reality. It is at this time that charges of rape are very real for a man. Men should not have sex with deluded women.
@o0POSH0o RAPE IS WHEN A MAN/WOMAN FORCES SEXUAL ACTS WITH SOMEONE WITHOUT THAT PERSON'S PERMISSION. you trying to tell me im wrong? I'm not the type to get all childish with names but im gonna resort back for a asshole like you. RAPE IS RAPE. there is no way around it- even with your stupid "non emotional sex". im talking RAPE not a mistake. it's very rare you find a person who does what you believe is how it always is. so stop acting so self absorbed men are holy, women lie shit.
That is an oversimplified definition of rape, since no sex that has taken place has ever taken place with someone's express permission. All sex is taken sex, if it is not taken then one can never have sex. Imagine a guy going out on a date and asking permission for sex? he would never get laid..... therefore a guy learns to set atmosphere and mood he learns to smile and create chemistry, he learns to spin crap for the woman to believe in an ideal an expectation.... of love... of respect. But...
@o0POSH0o You, sir, are a moron. If you are implying that raping women is the only way to ensure sex for men, I have a feeling you have very little luck with the ladies. If all sex is taken sex, are you explicitly permitting any woman to put on a strap on and stick it up your ass any time they feel you are interested in sex?
@ShreyaSen100 All sex is taken sex because sex is the expression of how confident one feels about the other person. If the confidence and how well you feel with the other person is there, then the right moves take place........ you are getting confused with mind and heart disconnect.... it is when someones wants to "get off" on someone. but you'll notice that in even in that case there is "taken sex"
He knows that all of this Romance is delusional, he knows that the axiomatic framework of the relationship is just pie in the sky. There is no "meat and vegetables", there is no future between us. So therefore after sex, the ultimate reality of what sex meant was on two different reference points. The man leaves and she is left thinking he is a B*tard. She is going to get angry that he treated her like that. This can be interpreted as rape by her, because she felt left down and cheated and used
There is the rare case in which a socially inept man who struggles with woman can force himself onto a woman. But that is only because women most often make up hyper neurotic personality traits that don't resonate with the practical reality that men face in reality. The woman lives in her world and the man lives in his world and the two worlds are far apart. A man can not gain knowledge of her world or emotional mental issues, he doesn't know how to "seduce"(build a fantasy) in her head.....
He is locked in a mental prison of confusions and fears and hates.... he lusts at a very crude and primitive level. He can't do anything but poison her or strangle her to get his way with her. The woman on the other hand is no psychologist when it comes to these confused men. They just make it worse and reject them or tell them that they are psycho.... he then has three choices, Kill himself, be violent or try to get help. Society is only preoccupied with lusts and image.....
society breeds shallow psychotic people who are alienated from other "successful" members of society. Until the feminist movement tries to help men to help women..... you are going to be eternally stuck in a quagmire.
As for money, even in Australia here, our kooky left government is trying to become another Sweden and introduce quacky affirmative action laws making it mandatory for women to represent 50% of every work force. I'm so glad i am a man...... reason being women are going to be dragged heal and toe into all the professions they don't want to do.... such as... mining, farming, engineering, finance, mechanics, computers, electronics, garbage collecting..... to name just a few.
@o0POSH0o There are plenty of women who would NOT mind doing those jobs one bit- in fact here in America, there ARE women who have those jobs, and they love it. At my college there are about 9 women going into the farming and even more going into engineering. Then there is 25 going into finance. so don't talk like you pity anyone, women are just fine with all kinds of jobs.
I never said that there are specific women who don't like those jobs..... I said generally men dominate by far certain jobs and the radical left want to make 50% representation in those jobs. That is when i said that i would love to sit back and watch women being dragged into those jobs that they never wanted to do in the first place(women generally, not specifically) scotland . gov . uk / Resource / Img / 317198/0092172 . gif
Further more, you should be familiar with esoteric reductionism........ money is the representation of energy. Money is translated into "the ability to do work"..... simply put.... energy in = the equivalent representation of that energy in term of "paper money" which then is able to be used in terms of purchasing other goods that were made with energy. Free money = inflation..... because there is no energy that can produce a good or service that represents it.
......(continued) guilt from sleeping with someone(after the fact). 7% only reflects the radical feminists interpretation that ALL sex is rape. 3. I didn't say that babies were forcibly aborted in china, I said that people voluntarily aborted female babies so as to have boys in order to work the farm. It is a practical decision in that Boys are stronger at farm labour.
Respond to this video... (2) if you're talking about middle east, its different roles. Ghastly things happen to both men and women in Middle east.... political social and religious. Feminists will only talk about the plight of women, they will never highlight atrocities suffered by men. Hangings occurs all the time in Iran, Chopping off of genitalia as weel female mutilation occurs in middle east. Radical leftist feminists only speak of women constantly over and over.
@o0POSH0o Feminists are allied with all organizations fighting every single kind of oppression all over the world. I am so sorry you are blind to reality. Of course feminists talk about women. We're FEMINISTS. Feminists are people who believe women should have equal rights. You don't know your history, your culture, or what it is like to be a woman. Educate yourself, please! We need more men on our side. You don't see the oppression because you haven't opened your eyes. You must look around you.
@magenta471 I'm very educated in my own persuasion as you are very educated upon your own persuasion. Only difference is whether you want to be intellectually honest with yourself or that you want to go along to your girl power forums and get a message that is warped and out of touch with reality. In the end Feminism only hurts women....... men have adapted and are competing and succeeding where as women want to succumb to corporate manipulation, gold digging and victim hood.
Men were cannon fodder for the ruling classes to fight their wars whilst women sat home complaining about their rights. Men were useful because they contributed in way that meant something to society. Read history about the wars. Read about men and women in society. Feminism only distorts that history makes men evil.
@o0POSH0o Again lies- did you play a blind eye to the fact that it wasn't allowed for women to enlist in wars? the number of women GLOBALLY who have dressed as men so they can fight for their country? Are you saying that nurses were insignificant during war time? Shame on you. I think you have been way more selective in your history, child. Learn to research properly then come back with real answers.
@midgysamurai15 Even today, women are very few on the ground fighting. There are no women on the street in iraq.... there are very few photos or video's where i have seen women patrolling or shooting in combat in Afghanistan or Iraq. In fact, I am confident that in nearly every important field in the world. Men accelerate and achieve to success at everything they touch. Yet the media portrays men as halfwits and useless idiots. I am sick of the media and they way men are being trashed.
"men accelerate and achieve success with everything they touch"......and you are giving war as an example. How the fuck can you give people kudos for being "a success" at killing? With beliefs that like, we're all fucked...
@janejanejane7 Even war, because you want you nice house in a nice street with a nice supermarket, happily provided to you by men. Next time a war happens, we'll have to vote to send all women off to war. Don't be so ungrateful and show some love.
I hear what you are saying about men's important role of protecting and providing. But times are changing! It is NOT that men have become useless, but that WAR is showing itself to be not an effective solution, but a strategy that breeds more hate, and more war! (germany's situation after wwI is just one example)
I am not ungrateful to men, but its a fact that our Mother (Earth) is now in critical condition, thanks to the industrial activities that are run by men!
@janejanejane7 War has never been proven to be an effective solution, but given that the world is made up of ideological notions of tradition, culture, nationalism, resource shortages and many many other complex instigators of war we can't lump men into the sole cause of war. We are all part of a "needs cycle" we need and want whether you're a man or woman. What would you be thinking if you were starving and cold with no house? you would fight those who prevent you from having that,wouldn't you?

@midgysamurai15 Continued... energy stored in the ground and coal and and oil does not magically appear at the power station or petrol station. It has to be dug up. It so happens that even now that men(exclusively for the most part) are the ones doing the hard work and the important work in the world. Women only like to have what men have got by complaining. Likes of Harriet Harmen live in dream land. Women only earn 70% of what men earn because they don't do the kind of work that men do.
There are plenty of women who work in the mines, in the fields, in so many places and yet are ignored for their labour. Even when they go into these workplaces, they are ostracised by people like yourself who are deluded with the idea of "man's work". Again, please get help for that sad case of misogyny- such hatred for women will not get you far.
@midgysamurai15 Strawman arguments.... I didn't say women don't work in mining, i said men are the ones that far outnumber women in the mining sector. Women don't want to work in mining or oil rigging, period.
@midgysamurai15 Continued No..2, wicca today is a female dominated religion and caters for propagating womanhood. I Believe that wicca was expressly created for women. Women were not liberated by feminism they were enslaved and became property of the corporation. Their individuality is created and fostered by mass propaganda and consumerism. Women are cashcows for the corporation, corporations fall over themselves to "cash in" on women's gullibility. Women are couped up at work paying off debt.
Actually wicca is based upon both genders and embraces nature- how sexist of you to assume that nature is a female thing. Do you resent the well being of your planet that much? also "I believe" doesn't cut it. Wicca is one of the few faiths in this world that view men and women as equals, in comparison to many Abrahamic faiths (male centred) which have done far more damage to this world that a bunch of nature worshippers.
You view women as cash cows?Is that how you treat your mother?
@midgysamurai15 I said wicca is female dominated religion, (stop creating strawman arguments) I said i believe it was expressly made for females and expressly for the point that you created, that the Abrahamic religions did more damage. Men just don't touch the religion much.
@o0POSH0o Hey sonny, you threw in religion way before. There is no how to guide on what counts as a religion and what isn't and to be quite honest with you- in comparison to the wicca faith, which worships both male and female- male centred and Abrahamic faiths have done far more damage to this world than what the Wiccans ever did.
@midgysamurai15 that is going awy from my point..... stay on topic. I said wicca is a female dominated religion. I am not debating whether which religion is the best...... or better.
@midgysamurai15 continued 3 Feminism is a NAZI movement because it demonises men and makes suggestable women to feel that they are victims, when in fact they were never victims. They were made to believe that what men have is more important than the freedom they had at that time. All the radical feminists want to make women women feel powerful and strong.(Helen Reddy - 'I Am Woman') lots of propaganda for women to swallow. Today women are still complaining..... until they face the truth
@o0POSH0o "Suggestable women"?Woah- defending rape culture much there? Like seriously, if you think that rape is justified GO GET HELP. Dude, your trolling fails- Helen Reddy's song was a protest against how so much of the common media dehumanised women as mere objects. Also, there are plenty of songs which glorify masculinity. I feel so sorry for the good kind men out there who have insecure individuals like yourself portraying the average man as a beast. :c
It was easy for women to believe in victimhood. In fact both men and women were victims of poverty. There are still many more homeless men than women on the streets. Its easy for women to believe their is a conspiracy against them. Even though very very view hold wealth, and many women are also very very wealthy. The world afforded women 'equality' when machines did the work. without machines women would be back where they always were. In the household, looking after children.
@o0POSH0o And again, do you have the statistics to validate your point, because WHO would say other wise. Seriously, I genuinely feel sorry for lonely people like yourselves who find pleasure in dehumanising a group of people- and to think you find raising a family to be a menial task says something about your poor unfortunate background. There has been plenty error in what you have said- statistically and theoretically.
@midgysamurai15 I refer to all "non radical leftist" literature..... (i can't post links on here) put there plenty of history books about the world in which the ruling aristocratic families of Europe oppressed workers and people under brutal monarchies. Anyone can see that the world did not begin in 1960. The world is not just western European and Anglo societies. It is a complex and diverse world of many different cultures. Nearly all of which treat women very respectfully.
@o0POSH0o Sure you can post links here, it's been done before. You just can't because you have no valid reasons for the stance that you have besides mere sexual insecurity. The world is certainly not Eurocentric but there is still major and dangerous amounts on gender inequality in Asia, Africa and the Middle East. Even historically, the few cultures that did view women fairly were wiped out due to the spread of Abrahamic faiths and Eurocentricism.

The problem with feminists is their own sexist ideologies. Does she really believe compassion is a uniquely feminine trait? Why focus on violence against women specifically? What about men and children? Is violence against them not as important? Why don't we just try to campaign against all violence?
So far the only feminist I've liked is Naomi Woolf, who's really civil rights activist, since she's fair and is concerned for everyone and not just women.

@mrbenderson005 Working to end violence against girls and women isn't sexist. More girls and women have been killed for being girls and women in the last fifty years then the total death toll of all men who died in battle during the twentieth century. Feminists don't support violence towards men, they simply focus their energy and attention on the group who is most frequently abused, raped, and killed due to their sex. This is all factual. I hope you reflect on the immaturity of your statement.
divinefemme 10 months ago
@divinefemme I'm sorry you don't agree, but that doesn't make my statement immature. I would like to see your source that provides the statistics showing more women are dying because they are women (I am assuming you're not counting the women who're killed as a casualty of war in the same way all civilians are). I'm not saying the number isn't large, but it's a big statement to make. Even so, I didn't insinuate women support violence against men, more like they don't actively care. (cont...)
mrbenderson005 10 months ago
@divinefemme ...consider if men had organized a "masculinist" movement towards promoting manhood, which consisted of all 'macho' traits you oppose so much and none of the 'girl cell' qualities that according to this women are primarily female qualities. It would feel invasive to you, they'd be called misogynists a hundred times over, and it'd be true. Singling out and actively supporting only women's rights (to me) is as sexist as it is racist to have a scholarships only for white people...
mrbenderson005 10 months ago
@divinefemme ...And you took my statement out of context, I did not at all say working to end violence against girls/women is sexist, I said her acquisitioning all these nice traits as 'girl cells' and demonizing what apparently are only male traits is making sexist statements, and biologically baseless considering, as she herself pointed out, men and women are taught much of how they behave respective to their gender roles...

@mrbenderson005 The "girl cell" is in men as as well as in women, as she clearly states in the beginning. To run with her style the "boy cell" qualities are equally healthy, great and necessary. The masculine is equally important, the problem is that it has become a distorted version of itself and we've overdosed on it because its been a patriarchy for hundreds if not thousands of years. This is why we focus on the feminine...it's the one that we need to emerge now. Likewise you can say weshould

@mrbenderson005 only support "equality" but that involves more focus on the feminine right now. When something has been oppressed or repressed it is below something else. The feminine has been below the masculine so we need to focus on it for it to rise. It's similar to how minority students can get into colleges easier usually then white students. It's not racist, it's necessary because they are at a cultural disadvantage. Focusing on women and the feminine is not anti men in the least

@astr323 Often in female circumcision they cut off the inner and outer labia as well as the clitoris. Sometimes they also sew the vagina closed and on the wedding night the male is either given an instrument to tear the vagina open again, or the groom is actually told to use his fist and punch hard to rip it open. These "procedures" are done without clean instruments or anesthetic when the women reach puberty while she is kicking and screaming.

@midgysamurai15 Women were never oppressed exclusively. The world was very different 100 years ago or so. Firstly NONE had the right to vote, only rich land owners and aristocrats could vote. People fought for the right to vote. When voting was granted it was granted to the household. For a brief period the master of the household voted. The right to vote was then extended to women too. 100 years ago or so, hard labour was done by men, the world had none of the conveniences we have to day.

midgysamurai15 1 year ago
@midgysamurai15 There were many queens throughout history, they exercised great power. Society is energy driven, it looks for energy for its livelihood. I believe that the reason why society is patriarchal is because men have more drive and passion. Women would be seen as helpers.
When Machines and electricity came along, we can be more equal.... because technology allowed this. But there still fundamental differences between men and women. Today society is largely against men and fathers.

Again you would know this if you read the literature properly. Also, these so called fundamental differences were imposed by opressive powers, all of which were run by men/ abrahamic rule.

This was necessary for a family. Feudal Society.

Respond to this video... (2) it was the shift from hard physical labour over to the factory that saw women in large numbers work in sweat shops..... alongside children. The rich capitalist merchants exploited women and children for profit. Hence the growth of the union movement. But men also were very heavily exploited. Feminists like only to focus on the plight of women and not put both genders in consideration. 800 women 4,000 workmen shoemaker's strike in Lynn, Massachusetts.

Respond to this video... I again refer to the axiom of energy and social change. The more access to energy and machinery and convenience, the more equal gender became. If you're in a rural setting, men dominated because of their physical capacity. In all society that are rural or semi rural, men have dominated due to their physical prowess and have had more drive and passion for their work. When technological change happened it seemed that there was more of a push toward equality.

As said before, feminists cover history that goes way beyond that of the British- it is not so healthy to be so nationalist there son. It was quite a Nazi like characteristic- then again I don't think you'd even know what the Nazis had done.
Again, even though there was division in class, men were still valued higher than women. And regardless of class, men could still vote.

ENERGY..... don't forget ENERGY as in kilojoules, horsepower..... as in work.

@o0POSH0o Why is energy even coming into this? Dude, what the fuck are you smoking? There are plenty of reasons as to why men get paid more that women and that is due to the difference in BASE rate pay in so much of the world. Minimal of the nonsense you puked out is to do with working hours. And fyi- it has been statistically shown that women collectively work longer hours than men in the developed and developing world.

@midgysamurai15 ever since oil was exploited, population exploded.... more energy = more stuff
more stuff = more excitement for the future
more excitement for the future = more hanky panky
more hanky panky = people
more people = more money because they have more stuff that was made by all the energy contained in oil.
Lots of oil means hairy fairy radical leftist nonsense. oil running out means less stuff, less stuff means lees people + more hard (muscle--- men, farms) work.. to keep women happy.

All women are oppressed. And in China, female babies are no longer forcefully aborted by the government. You are hopelessly clueless.

@o0POSH0o It is people like you who are trying to change the "standard" for rape. MOST rape cases are RAPE. there is a VERY limited number who have not been raped. Also, honey- did you know on average men do get paid more- and it has NOTHING to do with skill or how long they have worked for a company, it's just cause they are men. don't try to say im wrong, im a sociology (and psychology) major.

@britt4192 Firstly all sex is a form of hyper-delusion, sex is the result of fantasies, expectations in another person. After sex can be a very lonely and dull experience, especially when the man has simply gratified himself and never made sex about the other person. SOME women can feel sick after sex and feel that the neurotic chemicals in their brain collapse into a cold steel reality. It is at this time that charges of rape are very real for a man. Men should not have sex with deluded women.

@o0POSH0o RAPE IS WHEN A MAN/WOMAN FORCES SEXUAL ACTS WITH SOMEONE WITHOUT THAT PERSON'S PERMISSION. you trying to tell me im wrong? I'm not the type to get all childish with names but im gonna resort back for a asshole like you. RAPE IS RAPE. there is no way around it- even with your stupid "non emotional sex". im talking RAPE not a mistake. it's very rare you find a person who does what you believe is how it always is. so stop acting so self absorbed men are holy, women lie shit.
britt4192 1 year ago
That is an oversimplified definition of rape, since no sex that has taken place has ever taken place with someone's express permission. All sex is taken sex, if it is not taken then one can never have sex. Imagine a guy going out on a date and asking permission for sex? he would never get laid..... therefore a guy learns to set atmosphere and mood he learns to smile and create chemistry, he learns to spin crap for the woman to believe in an ideal an expectation.... of love... of respect. But...

@o0POSH0o You, sir, are a moron. If you are implying that raping women is the only way to ensure sex for men, I have a feeling you have very little luck with the ladies.

@ShreyaSen100 All sex is taken sex because sex is the expression of how confident one feels about the other person. If the confidence and how well you feel with the other person is there, then the right moves take place........ you are getting confused with mind and heart disconnect.... it is when someones wants to "get off" on someone. but you'll notice that in even in that case there is "taken sex"

He knows that all of this Romance is delusional, he knows that the axiomatic framework of the relationship is just pie in the sky. There is no "meat and vegetables", there is no future between us. So therefore after sex, the ultimate reality of what sex meant was on two different reference points. The man leaves and she is left thinking he is a B*tard. She is going to get angry that he treated her like that. This can be interpreted as rape by her, because she felt left down and cheated and used

There is the rare case in which a socially inept man who struggles with woman can force himself onto a woman. But that is only because women most often make up hyper neurotic personality traits that don't resonate with the practical reality that men face in reality. The woman lives in her world and the man lives in his world and the two worlds are far apart. A man can not gain knowledge of her world or emotional mental issues, he doesn't know how to "seduce"(build a fantasy) in her head.....

Further more, you should be familiar with esoteric reductionism........ money is the representation of energy. Money is translated into "the ability to do work"..... simply put.... energy in = the equivalent representation of that energy in term of "paper money" which then is able to be used in terms of purchasing other goods that were made with energy. Free money = inflation..... because there is no energy that can produce a good or service that represents it.
